Application filed May 22, 1919. Serial No. 298,988.

To all whom it may concern: i

Be it known that I, DANIEL H. YoUNG, a-

I citizen of theUnited States of America, and

a resident of Manchester, Delaware county,

Iowa, have invented certain new and useful.

Improvements in Water-Bathing Means for Boiler-spouts, of whichthefollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in water bathing-means for boilerspouts, and the object of my improvement is to position in the steamdelivery spout of the boiler of a humidifier or other vessel, means forob structing and returning water passing into the spout because ofintense ebullltion of the contents ofthe boiler, while permittingdelivery end of said spout, and Fig. 3 is a responding plan of the waterbafflingmeans for said spout.

f Similar numerals of reference denote cor- VleWS.

' The numeral 7 denotes a boiler-having a cover 8 and a lateral spout 6.The spout is inclined'very slightly downwardly toward the boiler topermit return flow of Water while allowing a lateral flow of steam. V Intense ebullition of the boiling water in said boiler will occasionallycause the ejaculation of small quantities ofthe water fromsaid spout,and it is to preventthis that Iprovide my bathing-means consisting of asingle 7 1 longitudinally troughed plate I'whos e forward end is bentdownwardly-and secured in the delivery end of said spout as shown at 2,to close the lower part of the delivery opening, the plate extendingthence nearly through the spout toward the boiler and inclined at aslight angle to the latter. .The'

trough in said plate begins near the part 2 parts throughout the severaland is continuous to the rearend of the plate whereit is slightly bentdown at5.

Patented Mar. 9, 1920.

The numeral 4 denotes a plurality of triangular tongues which, however,may be of.

any other shape, partially cut out of the troughed part of plate 1 inlongitudinal alinement, bent upwardly at an angle to the plate withtheir apices directed toward the boiler, the-openings at their basesserv mg for drainage. The numeral .3 denotes a single semi-circulartongue partially 'cut' from the forward part of the trough of said plateand bent downwardly outwardly to furnishanother drainage opening. 1 Y Inthe event that boiling water is forced into said spout in relativelysmall quantities, 1

theportion which passes under the plate 1 is bafiied by the part 2 andflows'back to the boiler. Such portion as may move through the upperpart of the spout will be bafiled by the tongues 4, thence drainedthrough the openingsyat the bases of the tongues or returning along thetrough ofthe plate to be returned to the boiler by the inclined-tip 5.

Any particles of-water which may have ad- I vanced forwardly beyond thetongues 4 will drain throughthe opening in the plate at the-base of thedepending tongue 3 and return through the lower part of the spout.

As' the steam tends to move through the spout in its upper portion, itsdelivery therethrough is not perceptibly impeded. My

improved bafiling means may be considerably varied in form and positionwithout departing from the principle of the invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim as'new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is;'

1. Water bafi'ling-means for spouts, consisting of a plate fixed withina spout to close the lowerpart of its delivery-opening,

thence directed inwardly at a slight angle to the horizontal, andprovided with upwardly-directed bafiling-tongues;

2. Water bathing-means for spouts, consisting of a longitudinally.troughed plate supported ina spout, with one end closing the lower partonly of the spout.

3. Water baffling-means for spouts, consisting of a longitudinallytroughed plate supportedin a spout longitudinally in spaced relation,and having upwardly disaid plate having bafHing-piojections and rec tedbaffling-projections, and openings podrainage openings positionedtherealong to 10 sitioned at the bases of the projections. permitpassage of vapor While bafiiing and 4. Water bafliing-means for spouts,conreturning a liquid.
